Abstract
The corrosion performance of various types of stainless steels is discussed for the variety of environments associated with distillation‐type sea‐water desalination plants. Several factors related to the design and operation of desalination equipment can have important bearing on the corrosion performance of the stainless steels. The most important of these are flow rate, presence of crevices, deposit formation, temperature, and oxygen content. The performance of present‐day steels has been evaluated by full‐scale plant tests and also by specimen‐exposure tests. For the future, electrochemical procedures will help to explain the corrosion behavior of stainless steels in high‐temperature water and offer a means for evaluating new steel compositions with improved corrosion resistance.
